Welcome

A learning community is a self-selected group of students who share similar academic interests and explore them together in common courses and out of classroom activities. Students in learning communities report making friends quickly and connecting with faculty, staff and upper-class students more easily.

Advantages of Learning Community Participation:

• Enrolled in common course(s); ranging from one to three shared courses. You'll see friendly faces in those larger introductory classes.
• Provide students with the opportunity to study and learn together outside the classroom.
• Discipline-specific learning community courses count toward major credit requirements for that discipline.
• Depending on the LC you chose, each community provides a faculty member, an upperclass peer instructor or a residential peer mentor who will help guide you through the exploration of what Rutgers has to offer.

We invite you to become a part of the wonderful world of Rutgers Learning Communities!
